However, TRE can only use shortcuts that arrive directly at bridges located in the branch of the destination. TRE+ extends the topology knowledge of a bridge to 2 hops away, thus unveiling new shortcuts to the destination branch. Simulations show a major performance improvement of TRE+ compared to TRE, with results close to shortest paths in some topologies. %K Routing bridges %K Ethernet %K Spanning tree %K Hierarchical addresses %K Automatización %K Automation %K Ciencias tecnológicas %K Technology %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
